The term was first communicated at the TechTide conference in 2018 by the originators Philipp Becker (Vision Lasertechnik) and Dr. Jens Kotlarski (voraus robotik), who had the vision early on to unite the strong robotics activities in Hannover under one roof. In 2022, the official umbrella brand "Robotics City Hannover" was founded by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economic Affairs, Leibniz Universität Hannover, the Hannover Region and other strong partners from science and industry. The aim is to develop a central platform under which the diversity in the field of robotics can be united at the location.
We are the information platform for robotics in the Hanover region. In addition to the latest robotics news and success stories from the Hannover Region, you will find an overview of local events, current projects, funding opportunities and local players in the field of robotics. We are the competence network for actively promoting and jointly implementing ideas and activities in the field of robotics in the Hannover Region.
The aim of the Hannover Region's business and employment promotion is to develop the Hannover economic region and make it fit for the future. We are committed to creating business-friendly conditions and promoting the competitiveness of companies. In addition to business-friendly infrastructure and competent services for companies and start-ups, securing qualified employment by promoting young talent and securing skilled workers are key fields of action. Supporting digital transformation processes and promoting key technologies such as robotics have been priority topics for years. Since 2013, the Hannover Region has been supporting robotics projects at schools, universities and SMEs, thereby making a significant contribution to the commitment to robotics in the Hannover region. In 2022, we founded the registered brand Robotics City Hannover together with the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economic Affairs and other strong partners.
Founded in 2018 and based in Hanover, the Robokind Foundation is committed to making robotics and artificial intelligence accessible to everyone. With its foundation concept and its projects funded by the Hannover Region, the Lower Saxony Ministry of Social Affairs and the European Social Fund, it pursues a sustainable and long-term strategy to strengthen the skilled workforce in the Hannover Region and the state of Lower Saxony. The Robokind Foundation team is currently working on the KIRIA project, which prepares companies and vocational schools in Lower Saxony for the digital challenges of the future and allows future technologies to be tested in practice. The foundation develops training and further education programs specially tailored to the needs of different target groups with a focus on robotics and artificial intelligence and also regularly offers workshops and information events on the subject. As part of Robotics City, Robokind aims to contribute to making Hanover one of the most important robotics locations in Germany.
